Waits for a task to be completed (or failed).

N.B: using retries == 0 will immediately timeout and return FALSE. This is convenient for unit testing for example

Usage

Task_wait_for_completion(
  task_id,
  interval = 3,
  retries = 30,
  recursive = TRUE,
  conn = get_connection()
)

Arguments

task_id

an (ECS) Task ID as a string.

interval

time in seconds to wait before retrying

retries

number of attempts to perform to check the task completion

recursive

whether to also wait for the subtasks

conn

a EDP connection object (as a named list or environment)

Value

TRUE if the task is finished (completed or failed), or FALSE if the number of retries is exceeded (~ timeout).
